Cancellation of Sidmouth Folk Festival (31st July – 7th August)

bySidmouth Folk Festival

It is with an extremely heavy
heart that we have had to take the decision to cancel this year’s Sidmouth Folk
Festival for the well-being of all involved. Breaking a continuous history of
65 festivals may feel devastating, but the well-being of all involved in
attending and running the Festival is paramount. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic clearly
makes it impossible to proceed with the 2020 event.

Plans are already underway for the
2021 Festival in which you can expect so much of what our audiences love about
this grand old Festival. We will be talking to artists and suppliers in the
next few days.

We will be contacting all 2020 ticket buyers directly over the next few
weeks with a variety of ticket rollover and refund options. Please bear with us
whilst we get all the necessary arrangements in place. We will be back to you
as soon as we can.

We know that this announcement will cause disappointment and
inconvenience. We will all miss catching up with old friends and being together
at the seaside this year. We thank everyone for their understanding and support.

Please keep checking the website for any new developments.

We look forward to reuniting everyone on our return next year, 30th July to 6th August 2021. In the meantime, we wish everyone and their loved ones the very best of health in these strange times.
